MOTHKK OF CONFEDERACY I>IR8
Orangeburg'* Oldest Citizen Gave
Husband and Two Bona to Houth
V ?' ^
Orangeburg, March '24.?Special:
Mr?. Olivia Larr Pooaer, Orangeburg's
oldest niuen, almost one hundred
years of age and the last of the
"Confederate Mothers" in South Carolina.
died early thi* morning at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Sallie
VVunnamaker. on East Russell street.
Mrs. Posse:', the daughter of the
Rev, John I.arr, a local Methodist
preacher, was born on October 18,
1828, in ;i little log house near
whut is new the town of Jamiceon
At the age of four she moved into
a new home on the same plantation
and this house still stands near
Jamieson, on highway number two.
She attended a school in the community
and at the age of nine often
ran awuy from school with other
pupils to watch the building of the
old South Carolina railroad, which
was, in 1K38, the longest railroad .ir"
the world. letter she attended a
school in the village of Orangeburg
and in 1S44, when but sixteen years
of age m;irried William E. Pooser, of
Orangeburg county.
In 1845 Frank Pooser, the oldest
son was born, and seventeen years
later he entered the Confederate
service as a private in Company B,
20th S. C. volunteer infantry and
served until the end of the war.
In 1864, the second eon Langdon
Pooser, with his father entered
Frederick's company of "old men
and boys," so that Mrs, Pooser has
held the unique record of wife and
mother of three Confederate soldiers.
Husband and sons have long since
joined their comrades among the
dead.
Besides the two sons mentioned
above, the children listed below grew
up, married and raised large families,
but one only, Mrs. Wannamaker, has
survived the mother:
Anseneth, wife of John Rast; Mary,
wife of J. T. Bell; Caroline, wife of
Jacob Summers and William. Many
grandchildren , and great-grandchildren
have gathered about her knees
and there are now at least one hundred
living descendants.
h or more than eighty years Mrs.
Pooser has been a member of Prospect
Methodist church, of Jamieson,
though her home has been at times
in Orangeburg, in Cameron and in
Orange township. Two years ago
at a "home-coming" at" Prospect
church she was presented and made
a little talk. There the funeral will
be held Sunday at 8:30 o'clock.
In 1015 Mrs. Pooser was elected an
honorary member of Paul McMichael
chapter, U. I). C., being even then the
last "Mother of the Confederacy" in
the county. In 1919 her record was
sent by Miss Marion Salley to Mr*.
A. McD. W ilson, of Atlanta, who presented,
her with a gold "Bar of Honor"
from the Southern Confederate Me
morial associations. At the request
of Mrs. Wilson the local U. I). C.
chapter arranged a public presentation
ceremony at the home of Mrs.
Wannamaker and the honoree was
very much pleased.
In 19-J and 1924 Mrs. Pooser was
an honor guest of the state reunion
of Confederate veterans and in 1925
a chapter at Cameron was. organize!
and named for her. In 192lf> she voted
in the Democratic primary, being the
oldest woman voter in the county.
On her ninety-eighth and ninety-ninth
birthdays she was honored by receptions
given by the Olivia Pooser U.
D. C. chapter, who invited members
of I aul McMichael chapter to be preent.
Gifts were sent her from the
state division, from two chapters an.!
greetings from throughout South
Carolina. Her last public appearance
was at a dinner given for camp Thorn
as J. Clover, U. D. C., in October.
1927.
For some years Mrs. Pooser has
received a pension from the state of
a widow of a ( onfedorate soldier and
at their last convention the South
Carolina division. U. D. C., granted
] her a special U. D. C. allowance
honoring her as no other has eve>
been honored.' The checks have been
, ^ delivered in person by the president
of the state division.
, >t Mrs. Pooser has been a contempar'ary
of every president of the United
' States except the first three. She
has seen marvelous changes and de,
velopments in science, agriculture and
commerce, but up to the very last she
, kept abreast with the times and read
the daily papers. She lived simply,
traveled little but was remarkably
bright mentally.

Advertising
The extent of the advertising
business in the United States is
shown in a report of the American
Newspaper Publisher's association.
According to that report $226,000,000
was spent during 1027 in national
advertising alone, And of
this amount a large part was expended
mostly profitably by the
manufacturers of automobiles and
foodstuffs.
"When the record of the amounts
spent for local advertising is added
to the national account it would
be seen that advertising ranks as
one of the great industries of the
country. ' It has had a wonderful
growth because its value has been
learned by the most astute buBineu*
men. Few investments net Urgerfl
and more certain results than &d.
vertising. And there is a reauoaB
